side effects from this product ## does kurzyme work?? ## would kurzyme help to reduce a blockage in a heart coronary artery ? ## Kurzyme is just an over the counter supplement that contains a variety of enzymes and herbs, thus it hasn't actually been proven to help with any medical condition and it has not been tested for side effects, as is done with prescription medications. And when it comes to a blockage in a coronary artery, please check with your doctor before taking anything, since there is still a possibility that supplements may interact with certain medications, or cause problems with certain medical conditions. Are there any questions or comments?

A vitamin (US /vatmn/ or UK /vtmn/) is an organic compound required by an organism as a vital nutrient in limited amounts.[1] An organic chemical compound (or related set of compounds) is called a vitamin when it cannot be synthesized in sufficient quantities by an organism, and must be obtained from the diet. Thus, the term is conditional both on the circumstances and on the particular organism. For example, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a vitamin for humans, but not for most other animals, a...

someone was asking earlier today about how much mag to take and I cant find the thread. I use Nature Made Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc supplement with vitamin D. 2 tabs when needed, usually at night before bed. I also do an epsom salt bath every night with 1-2 cups epsom salt in the bath water, along with a sports alcohol. This is great! Sometimes when the restless legs are really bad I take several baths a night. I will never go without my magnesium!!!!!

My auntie just got bought a supplement called MX Menopause Factor for my mom. According to my auntie, it support for normal sleep patterns, balanced moods and for menopause symptoms. Just want to asked if anyone try to used it before or anyone aware about this health supplement? Is it good supplement? Thanks.. ## This an herbal supplement made by Maxalife and, just like any other such supplement on the market, it isn't actually tested and proven to help with anything. Most of the ingredients they list as under very scientific names, rather than their common monikers, which means its also very difficult to tell exactly what you're getting. Is anyone familiar with this product?

I've learned that this supplement by the name of NAC is a supplement that covers just about any ailment or vice you could think of. It's evidently a secret or just not widely known about. However, I've done my research & I've asked questions and this is what I've learned this far... NAC has the ability to diminish certain drug cravings & cease drug use in cocaine addicts, nicotine addicts, marijuana addicts & even methamphetamine addicts!! Also, it provides mental health patients with mental clarity & helps with depression as well. It has so many benefits, there's no way I could possibly cover them all here. It's actually used in hospitals where patients had overdosed on acetaminophen as they administer it in high doses, thus keeping the patie...

I currently have 50mcg tablets and I am trying to take 200mg. How many would I have to take? ## Hello, Anthony! How are you? Are you sure it's safe for you to take that much? That would be a very high dosage of B12 and too much of it can be very dangerous. Have you been shown to be low in via lab work? How much have you been instructed to take? ## Hi Anthony, I am a big proponent of Vitamin B12 at high doses, but even I don't recommend taking 200 mg per day. It's perfectly safe to take up to 5 or 10 mg per day, but to do so, you'd be better off buying capsules that contain 5 mg per tablet, because if you are trying to get those doses taking 50 mcg tablets, you'd be taking almost a whole bottle at a time! You can see my page on Vitamin B12 Dosage here.

Can Olfen-100 SR and Cartil forte be taken together? ## Based on my research there are no drug interactions found between the active ingredients in Olfen-100 SR and Cartil forte. This does not necessarily mean no interactions exist, but my sources state that every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided is accurate. With that said, because I am not a doctor, the most I can tell you is that from what I've read, these two medications are regarded as being safe to take together and shouldn't present any problems outside of the normal side effects associated with each medication. I hope this helps!

Hi. I am 23 years old, height 5'6 and weight is 50kg. I want to increase my weight. I eat a normal diet, but I am not gaining weight. Please suggest me some effective pills or supplements. I am working a night shift. I want to put on more weight but not too much. Please do reply. ## There are many medications and natural herbs that promote appetite. Ask your Dr. about them. This isn't the place to come to asking about drugs because we don't write them. A MD does. An MD also knows (generally) which medications will help. But, remember if you are taking any appetite suppressant such as a stimulant then of course other drugs are not the answer. If you take a stimulant for a legitimate medical need then you've probably been on it awhile. The appetite suppression just like th...

My step-sons' mom makes the boys take meds...mostly naturals and homeopathic stuff. Today the boys tell us one is blue and if it so much as touches their tongue it will turn their tongue blue. Maybe a coating? We want to know what this pill is without asking her. It is given daily. At least on her weeks. Any clues what it may be?

Is it safe to take enforge with supplements? ## looking to buy pp's pm's ## Did you mean Exforge, which contains Amlodipine and is usually used for high blood pressure? It really depends on the type of supplement. Some things, such as a multivitamin or other vitamins are mostly safe. However, you have to be careful using supplements containing Potassium, as some blood pressure medications can cause it to be elevated in your body and too much of it is just as dangerous as not enough. You also should not use products containing Licorice root or extract, because it can raise blood pressure. Jd, I am sorry, but I have no idea what your abbreviations are referring to. However, you should be informed that this site does not manufacture, prescribe, nor sell any medications. this is a...
